Today’s scripture: Psalm 33:1-5
Not long ago, I wrote how I love to worship the Lord in song. Praising Him with the words of ancient hymns. Lifting my hands with contemporary melodies.
There’s nothing quite like it. I guess that’s why I love the psalms so much. So many of them were written as songs of praise.
And it’s not just singing.
In fact, Psalm 33 invites its readers to “praise [Him] with the harp”; “[m]ake melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings”; and, “[p]lay skillfully.”
I don’t play an instrument—at least not well—and I admire gifted men and women who do. I’m blessed to attend a church that has a small orchestra, and when I listen to one of our amazing pianists or our organist or our flutist, my heart rejoices in their music.
Fortunately for me, the psalm also invites us to “[s]ing to Him a new song.” Now that I can do.
And I do. Won’t you join me?
